NotYourHoliday The Works has a set of Washi tape [https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/craft-embellishments/assorted-washi-tape-box---24-rolls/5056285513747?CAWELAID=720011340002758074&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-4nuBRCnARIsAHwyuPqgOyCHthVniRwDYHzSPNQ9LsZsRH6jcY-skFDGb8m7p_8xe32inG0aAuJIEALw_wcB here] and they often have deals on to make things even cheaper

@whoknows1230 they are in my local Poundland

I seem to have done most of my Christmas shopping for dd2 today, Amazon seem to be matching argos prices on many items including some Lego offers and playmobil. Dd2 wanted the London bus (big set), price keeps going up and down and it keeps going out of stock so I gave in and bought it today for £109 (that’s her main gift) and also got the playmobil movie food truck at a reduced price. I now need to find stuff for dd1, I’m waiting for Hype to do their goody bags, if I remember correctly they did them for Black Friday last year?

Well that was a failure of a clock through link let’s try that again - here

@MyGhastIsFlabbered more than happy to give it a go. I’ll nip down in the morning and see what they have left. If I can’t get one I’ll post on here as soon as I can and hopefully someone else will manage to get one for you.

@BeauticianNotMagician81 the argos outlet shop on ebay has 10% off when you spend £50+ that's on top of the 20% off all toys a few of which are on sale as well. Also works with the 2 for £15

Thank you so much! 🤞🏻

Sorry you need to enter code PRISTINE to get the additional 10% off

@Lc2006 perfect. Thanks so much for that. Off to spend more money

@NotYourHolidayDick I have bought loads of tape for my 10 year old from Clearance Shed

tape

I’ve just emailed to cancel my hamper as don’t even really need one and got a standard reply straight away then within 5 minutes another one saying it’s cancelled & refunded.

How do you find the 2 for £15 on the Argos eBay site?

@NotYourHolidayDick would love a shaver plug if you still have one?

I've received a toothbrush today and didn't realise it came with a 2 pin plug

Happy to pay for it

@dancemom, how about this for the sheet masks? It's linking to the current kit on sale, but you can just search for 'mask sheet trial kit' on the site if it expires.

@whoknows1230 LOL Advent calendars also at Aldi

For sheet masks I use AliExpress a lot. There are sometimes Tony Moly ones on offer and the bioaqua ones are often really good. Plus they can be as little as 25p

Long shipping times though, but you'd get them by Christmas.

In Wilko today they had character Pez dispensers for £1 and multipacks of Pez sweets also for £1. They had Peppa, PJ Masks and Pokemon. Just realised they all begin with P. Got my DS a Pokemon for a stocking filler.

Trumpton love those!

Just off to bed, will update new thread in morning. If you’re v chatty feel free to set it up whilst I attempt to sleep (and get constantly woken by a baby!)

@NotYourHolidayDick I'd also be a grateful receiver of a plug as we're about to move and the new bathroom doesn't have a shaving socket so no idea how to charge my toothbrush 🤣 happy to pay!

@Trumpton they're beautiful cards!! Super talented!

Could anyone recommend a hot wheels track set? I am looking at them and I dont see what is fun about it, but need to get one. I see some sets in argos outlet, but they all seem boring to me, I am not 4year old boy though.

I am super excited about my tarte kit ordered today:) also got 8% cashback from topcashback on it

Not exactly bargainous, but can anyone recommend a really really good online fudge seller? I ordered from Slab but Hermes have delivered my order to the other side of the country and neither supplier nor courier seem to want to help me!

@Justonedayatatime11 It definitely isn’t bargainous but it has to be Edinburgh Fudge Kitchen

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts ooh sorry think I've made a mistake there. Just had a look at the ebay store and doesnt look like they do the 2 for £15 on there. It does work on the 2 for £15 on the argos site though just no extra 10% off on there.
